Windows 10: Wifi - "Uncheck use my Windows user Account"

To sign into my University campus wifi, part of the instructions are to "uncheck use my Windows user account." This was all fine and dandy until I was reconnecting after Thanksgiving break and noticed that this box is now nonexistent. It used to be an option as I connected to the wifi, now it's gone. Did they hide it somewhere in an update?

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del

 

Can't uncheck WIFI "Connect Automatically"

Hi,

Have you tried removing the network from the list? Your network credentials may still be saved on your Wifi settings.

We suggest you to remove the preferred network and reconnect it. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows icon.
• Click Settings.
• Select Network and Internet.
  
• On the left pane, click Wifi.
• Click on link Manage Wifi Settings.
• There is prompt, click on Manage known networks
• Select the network you want to forget.

Once you remove the network it will no longer appear on the list. You may need to reconnect it, if you want.

Let us know how it goes.
